Franciscan Chasuble in Ivory with San Damiano Cross and Tau Embroidery

On the back, a Y-shaped orphrey frames the San Damiano crucifix inside a gold quatrefoil, with doves and olive sprays running out along the yoke. Down the column, olive branches climb between a radiant gold sun, a silver crescent moon and, at the hem, a gold Tau cross in a roundel.

The front column opens with the Tau inside a quatrefoil at the collar. Beneath it a slender olive vine climbs the panel with white doves perched among the leaves, and the column closes with the radiant sun at the hem. Both orphreys are edged in gold-coloured braid, and the outer hem is bound in a matching gold trim.

Ivory belongs to the white class. This chasuble suits the Feast of St Francis of Assisi (4 October), the Stigmata of St Francis, St Clare and the other Franciscan feasts, and any profession, jubilee or patronal Mass in a Franciscan house or parish. Because it is white-class, it is equally correct at Christmas, at Easter and on any day that calls for white.

Full gothic cut, wide across the shoulders and falling in a deep curve over the arms, with no fastening. The body is ivory satin with a soft woven texture, the orphreys are terracotta satin worked with gold-coloured, silver-coloured and coloured thread, and the chasuble is lined in a gold-toned satin.
